Earlier this week the department received a call for a medical emergency. Upon arrival at the scene, officers were approached by Tucker who informed the officers that an elderly gentleman was experiencing a medical issue and required assistance.
EMS personnel later transported the man to the hospital for further evaluation.
While on the scene, several bystanders informed officers that Tucker had noticed the elderly man struggling to walk and stepped in to help him, guiding him down the street to a nearby bench. Tucker then remained with him, waiting until emergency personnel arrived.
In recognition of his exceptional citizenship and bravery, the Westerly Police Department and IBPO #503 presented Tucker with a brand-new bicycle, helmet, and accessories.
Tuckers action demonstrate the importance of looking out for others and we hope he can inspire all of us to be better.
